Set measurement threshold processing options
NOTE:
This feature is only available for the Measurement Threshold
policy
type.
You can choose how HP Operations processes multiple instances of
the value being measured. For example, if a policy monitors disk
space, then each disk in the
managed
node is one instance, and you can choose whether to treat each
disk separately or all disks as a whole.
- Process each instance separately: Select this option if
you want each instance to be processed by the policy separately.
For example, if the policy monitors each CPU in a multiple CPU
server, and the activity of all CPUs exceeds the threshold, a
message
will be generated for each CPU.
- Process all instances once: This option can only be used
if the threshold rules use the output of a script as the threshold
(instead of minimum or maximum). Select this option if the script
evaluates all instances and delivers one value to be tested by the
policy. (Make sure that the scripting language that you choose is
supported on the platform where you plan to distribute your
policy.)
- Select Show only newest message in active browser if you
want to ensure that only the most current status of a threshold is
shown in the active message
browser. The values that measurement threshold policies monitor
can change rapidly. A condition that produces an error message
might only exist for a short time. In order to prevent your message
browser from filling up with threshold messages that might not be
current, you can use Show only newest message in active
browser. This feature causes a measurement threshold policy
message to acknowledge all messages in the message browser which
were created by the same policy, and which have the same node and
instance. (Note that although a message cannot acknowledge itself,
you can send an End Action message directly to the acknowledged
messages browser.)
To access this tab:
- Right-click a measurement threshold policy and select
Edit.
